The musical will be directed and choreographed by Ann Reinking and conclude the 2003 Encores! season.

About an interracial love affair between a white novelist and a black model, the show originally starred Richard Kiley and Diahann Carroll in 1963. The show will mark a reunion between Chicago choreographer Reinking and her erstwhile Billy Flynn, Naughton.
